Importing Physical Documents & Photos (OCR)

Capti Voice can recognize text in photos and images (Optical Character Recognition, or OCR). Capti adjusts to difficult lighting conditions and hand orientations but as a rule of thumb the better the quality of the photo the better
you can expect the result to be.
